Buddy Guy on NPR

Listen to the interview
Every time Buddy Guy steps out, even if he’s just doing a quick ad-lib between lines, he delivers something profound. That guitar wisdom, dispensed so casually, is the element no producer or record executive can order up. Guy is among the last living links to Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and other towering figures of the blues. And if you can’t hear that in the slickness of the arrangements or the glitter from the celebrity guests, just be patient. The next guitar solo will come along in a minute or two, and then all that history will be inescapable.
